Oh you know... I saw this movie last friday with ERISE09.... So... soooo awesome.... You have to see it. Great character design, great french music. Maybe the only thing I could reproach about this film is maybe the animation.. I think the character could move more... To be more elastic, more dynamic... But IT'S AN AWESOME FILM. You cannot say it isn't.

hahaa yeaaah me too ! So sad, the end... Who don't really want that love between Francoeur et Lucille ? xD With a friend, we saw this movie at cinema, and at the end, we looked together, and cryed: "but.. it's no happy eeeend!D':" xD xD xD But there are others great characters, too.

OMFG. So cute. I am very eager to see this film when I am able! I haven't seen it yet, but I think I know what you mean about the animation. The impression I got from the trailers was the characters move more like claymation puppets than CG models.

Honestly, if they really wanted to, the 3D animators could have included those kinds of movements, unless the models weren't rigged properly. My guess is that they made a conscious choice to do it the way they did, either to save time/effort, or because they wanted to invoke that stop-motion feel.

I agree wholeheartledly with you, though. 2D animation makes it a lot easier to achieve those lifelike movements.

Yes, I suppose they do that because they wanted. But my way of thinking is, for this kind of character design, I was waiting for something more dynamic.. But it's just details you know... >__< sorry to speak about that...
